A correspondent of the Omaha Herald,

A correspondent of the Omaha Herald,
writing from Rspid City, arguealn favor
of Omaha az the comm cial depot for
the Black Hille countr, 40 urges the
construction Of railroad llaes sith that
end in view, showing that with the ex.
ercise OF little business enterprise
Omaha can hold the trade Of the Hills
country against st. Paul and Chicago.
The Herald in giving place to this COM
munioation makes lengthy and favorable
comment thereon. In the course Of its
editorial remarks the Herald says:
But to make the territory secure from
invasion by transverse lines north OF this
parallel, Omaha must baild the Omaha
Northern to Yankton and northward and
contest with the feeders OF rival cities
the valuable territory which is naturally
tributary to this city. With the Omaha
Northern constructed, Omahe's grip
upon she Black Hills region would be
secure for twenty years.
| Every project for the advancement Of
Omaha's commercial interests argues in
favor Of the construction OF the proposed
road from Omaha to Yankton. Without
lit Omaha leaves open to northern
competing roads all the valuable terri
tory north OF line drawn due west from
from Omaha. BY the construction of
the road to Yankton Omaha could close
the gap between itself and northern
railroad systems and would thereafter
hold the balance of trade in it's own
favor by the sheer force of the natural
tendency Of commercial movements
The way the railroad lines OF Da.
kota and Nebraska have shaped them
selves makes q barrier against trade
OF the narrow gap existing between
Omaha and Yankton. All business
north of this opening Is directed east
ward and Omaha loses that which would
naturally seek It's doors under other
conditions. The construction Of one
hundred and fift, miles OF road would
revolutionize the system OF trade and
traffic in this portion Of the west and send
the people Of the Jim and Missour
vallies and the Black Hills slope tt
Omaha to buy their goods and sell theil
products.
1 We hope and believe that during ths
year iast begun the long talked Of road
to Omaha will become . reality. Before
the dawn OF spring the peopls OF 'Yank
ton should organize for An earnest effort
lin behalf OF the much needed eonnec
tion. Our city is interested with Omaht
in this enterprise and combined effor
between the two cities will create thu
road. For the next two months Yanktor
, has nothing OF immediate pressing
( necessity to occupy its attention ant
, this much time could proitably be give,
to the Omaha line. The opportunity i
, now ripe. IT it passes unheeded we los
} the advantage gained and it will no
come to us again.

The following paragraph from the
Spring field Times OF last week is Of in,
terest to the people off ianhton:
Steps were taken at the railroad meet.
ing Tuesday TO proceed vigorously with
the proposed line of road TO be built
between Yankton and Chotear creek
The artieles OF incorporation had been
previously drawn up and were presented
at the meeting and met the approval of
those interested. The road is to be
known az the Missouri River railroad,
and will ultimately be extended to Bis
marck, running through all river
counties between the two points. Five
OF the seven incorporators, including
some OF the strongest men financially in
in this section OF Dakota, have signed
the articles and the others will as soon
as the papers can be got 70 them. The
names Of the inoorporators will be made
known ss soon as all have signed. The
capital stock 10 set at $l00, 100000 divided
into shares OF 500 each. The articles
Of incorporation will be filed according
to law at once. 80
Springfield is very much in earnest
in this movement to secure railroad
and earnest efforts, iudiciously pushed,
will win. Yankton should extend q help
ing hand in behalf OF an enterprise which
will open to this market vast area
of country. AS the Omaha Northern is
seeking route into Dakota via Yankton,
the Springfield extension might profita.
bly, be made a part OF that project.

ARMOUk'S NERVE.
Adulteration Project-Cotton Seed Oil For
Lard,

Adulteration Project-Cotton Seed Oil For
Lard.
New YORK, March 1.-The Armour inter.
view, sent from Galveston last Monday,
is exciting great interest among those who
are opposed to the adulteration of food. The
Times devotes long editorial to the sub
iect this morning. The following is por-
ton of it: "Phillip d. Armour. of Chicago,
and associates, own and operate, it is said,
the largest establishment in the world for
the manufacture and sale of lard and other
hog products. Armour frankly admitted in
Galveston that it was his intention to form q
company of $40, 0OO, 600 capital for the man.
ufacture of cotton seed oil. Here is what
the great pork packer said about bis interest
in the cotton seed oil business: 'The use of
cotton seed oil in the manufacture of lard
an extent in late years that my establish
ment alone consumed one-ffth of the cotton
seed oil produced in the United States.
Hence cotton seed oil is an important item
to my firm. The oil product of the last
year was from II, 900 600 to 20 00O, 0OC gallons.
Armour thus admits that he used in his lard
factory one-fifth of this, or from $500, 900
to 1000, 900 gallons. It appears that the ex-
porters and Armour & Co., take about one
half of the entire product. A large amount
must be used by other manufacturers of lard
who compete with Armour Il Co. It is as
serted that large part of the remainder is
used by the manufacturers of cheese, and
the merchants in the cheese trade declare
this adulteration inj1riously affects our
import trade, the quantity of cheese exported
having fallen from 148, 100000 pounds in
1881 to sc, OO0, 900 pounds in 1856.

NO MANS LAND.
Tho Bill For Its Opening to Settlement has
Passed Congress.

Tho Bill For Its Opening to Settlement has
Passed Congress.
TOPEKA, March IA special dispatch
from Washington yesterday announced the
gratifying news that the bill for opening the
strip known as No Mans Land, north of the
Texas Panhandle, had passed congress. Ite
passage in the house is largely due to Con-
greseman Ryan, who had it in charge and
persistently pressed its passage. The bill
only requires the signature of the president
to make it law. The great presidential
vetoist will doubtless give it his approval.
The opening of the strip will give south
western Kansas an immense boom. It ID
attached to Kansas for judicial purposes.
The strip is about 165 miles long by 81 miles
wide. It is well watered, and the soil is as
productive as any in the western portion Of
Kansas. The strip has been occupied for
years by range cattlemen, who have had q
soft thing there, having had q full range
without annoyance of the payment of rents
or taxes. The cattle king will now be
hard listed and honest granger. The bill
for the opening of the strip provides for the
establishment of a land Office thereon. The
supplies for the settlers on the strip will
have to come from Kansas, and practically
the strip will be q part of Kansas. The real
estate and town boom will strike that terri
tory with force unprecedented in the set
Element of new countries. The Beaver riv-
or, branch of the Canadian, runs through
the entire strip, and the Paladora, q
beautiful and never-failing stream, runs
through the center n0rthward from Texas.

A Rabbits Idea of the Hereafter.


Rabbi Sonneschein, of st. Louis, saws
this OF an hereafter: 1--WE may have
sinned, we may have done the most out
rageous act, condemned by even the low
est, still there is heaven and haven
everywhere, anywhere. somewhere for
everybody. There is no outcast who is
banished forever from the sight of God.
He'll is simply corner of heaven. I
speak in human language, but I am
In the belief that hell is nothing else but
some little gloomy corner of heaven,
where those who have been SHINING are
put aside for awhile until they have
been purified and cleaned and can come
a little bit more forward ard so by de-
grees reach toward the central point OF
unspeakable divine bliss and happiness.
That is heaven according to Jewish doc
trine. And now let them come-an the
agnostics and all the blind believers. II
they can improve on that, if the agnostic
can improve on that Jewish heaven, with
his reason, of which he is so proud, and
If that firm believer can improve on that
heaven with all the pious mysticism that
dwells in his pious heart, say let them
come and improve it. There is moth
ing above that conception"
